On October 21, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) determined to continue the anti-dumping measures on Hot-Rolled Steel Products imported from Japan as a result of the sunset review.

During the sunset review proceedings, the Japanese steel industry has claimed that the revocation of the anti-dumping measures on Hot-Rolled Steel Products imported from Japan is not likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to the U.S. steel industry.

We believe that it is unjust and extremely regrettable that ITC has rejected our statements and concluded to continue the anti-dumping measures on Hot-Rolled Steel Products imported from Japan.

The Japanese steel industry will carefully study this decision and determine a proper course of action.
